Archdemon Empress Luna

***********************

Unfortunately, the highest royals couldn't recognize Sloth and Ravin as they shadowed behind her and the Vampire King.

Maybe they have seen all of these artworks, but the Archdemons' faces didn't register.

She introduced them as Princes from a faraway Realm.

King Oberon and Queen Titania even agreed to let them stay after being kicked out of Vinca Inn for destroying Henry's establishment.

All of them exchanged pleasantries with the Summer Monarchs, and that was it.

Nothing.

No suspicion.

No sudden recollection.

None at all.

From that situation, Luna concluded that no one from the Summer Courts knew that Ravin and Sloth were Archdemons.

The summer Monarchs didn't care about other strangers unless they belonged to the Royal Family or ruled a massive, powerful Kingdom.

Like the Spring Monarchs,  they already had this assumption that Queen Titania and King Oberon planned to nurture an alliance with the Vampire Realm.

The royalties courted other stronger royalties to gain access to their resources for free after earning their trust.

The only difference was, the Summer Courts thought that they could use the family narrative as leverage.

They would care about anyone they can use as a pawn for their sick twisted game of politics in the Faerie Realm.

Yet, the Summer Monarchs miscalculated because Luna and Apollyon weren't playing the game after Princess Ourania tried to sabotage Luna in secret.

Because of that,  their wicked schemes fell through, and they were even lucky to take Princess Sapphire and Xerxes with them.

Nevertheless, they still had to keep them in line just in case they act up.

The Vampire Realm had burned bridges with two of the Faerie Courts like it was nothing, and she had no regrets.

Luna realized that if Apollyon' so-called family couldn't be trusted, how were they supposed to trust anyone else?

She accepted that notion earlier on, but now she had another problem to deal with.

She sensed Xerxes standing behind her as he peeked over her shoulder while she was crouching to see Ravin's painting in detail. "No one can answer your questions about the paintings aside from Princess Ourania, Your Highness," Xerxes whispered abruptly, and her heart almost skipped a beat in surprise. "Do you want to go back there so that we could interrogate the Summer Princess before we travel?"

Ravin tilted his head and glanced at her before shifting his gaze to the werewolf shapeshifter. "Perhaps, you were the only one who wished to go back to the Summer Courts, Xerxes, to fulfil your Princess' wish." He smirked. Luna slightly turned her head to witness Xerxes' knitted brows and set jaw before he dragged his green eyes away from her.  "If you want to make her feel more secure since we aren't going to hurt a child in the presence of my Amare, tell her that there is only one Archdemon in this group. And that one is too lazy to kill unless he is bored or he was commanded by the Master."

Ravin might have diverted the subject to Sloth, but she couldn't help but scowl when he implied that he could be an Archangel every chance he got just because he had that blue feather in his possession.

It was getting on her nerves, and it wasn't only her.

Her husband was incredibly pissed.

Apollyon looked up from the paintings and snarled, "You are not an Archangel, Ravin."

"If I am…." Ravin's small smile turned into a wide grin as the rings of his eyes glowed on Luna, "--would  you promise to revoke my our binding rite as a slave and recognize me as your husband with full rights over  you and your body?"

There was a long pause before Luna responded, "No."

She couldn't believe the chance Ravin might be an Archangel, but she just couldn't bet their binding rites over such a serious matter… because what if it was true?

A burst of crisp, good-natured laughter followed her reply, and she narrowed her eyes at him.

The Archdemon of Gluttony was amused by her doubts.

"You sound afraid of the possibility, Amare. I like it when you take me seriously." Ravin stared at her, and Luna was forced to meet her gaze. "As I said, if I were your love slave, I would be more accepting of my task. I don't mind sharing as long as I can touch Amare and have her for myself in a schedule. What if the Vampire King and I took turns taking care of you like what Luxen and I did in Hell? Your husband and I can adjust as long as you do your wifely duties well."

She could no longer discuss the subject at hand.

"What is he talking about, wife?" Apollyon's fingers clasped her nape, and she turned stiff, afraid that her husband would choke the life out of her before she could explain. " Luxen and Ravin taking turns?" His tone was deadly soft as she felt the jagged edge of his anger, "Of what? Fucking you?"

"Ravin. Have you ever fucked me when I was in Hell?" Luna made her voice louder to make it known once again that she hadn't cheated on her husband. She would never do that on purpose. "As your Master, I demand you to answer the truth to clear things up. Yes or no?"

"It depends on what type of fucking we are talking about… but I would answer 'no' so as not to make your husband mad." He said huskily, "Because I love you."

"Don't play with me, Archdemon," Luna answered him with a frustrated scream.

If Ravin weren't her Familiar, she would have attacked him with her claws and fangs. "If you do love me… so what?  I have a husband, and I am pregnant. How many times have I told you that? Couldn't you find someone else to mess with?"

"You forgot that you are my Archdemon Mate just because  you have turned me into  your slave."

"No! That is because she can survive on your own, Archdemon." Apollyon's countenance was those of a feral wolf. "You can't give her anything that I can't provide, and she already chose me."

He hauled her back to his side when Ravin began to inch closer.

"If she already chose you, then why do you feel so threatened?"
